I Hate Political Correctness

A black woman is running to become US first black governor female in the state of GA. If she already had lil to no chance probably has even less now. She's calling for the removal of stone mtn carving and taken down of all civil war monuments, muesuems and battlefields statewide. Which is illegal under GA law. Yeah bright bulb there try again dumbacrats

Can I see an article about this?

Please don't lump anyone who would think like that as a Democrat. There is an argument to be made for the removal of CW monuments, but museums and protected battlegrounds? Thats just ridiculous.

@Mountainlady16 So I don't see anything about battlefields, but she does speak to moving monuments, where applicable to museums, which I agree with. So she doesn't want to close museums.

The stone mountain monument is harder, its much different than a statue in its face, but I certainly understand why they would want it gone.

Either way it is illegal under GA law. All war monuments and memorisls are protected under our state laws.

@Mountainlady16 Indeed, currently it is against GA law, as I am reading it.

@Pherick yes and we have monuments both to confederate and union soldiers in my local battlefield.
